ANKARA İLİNDE SAVUNMA SANAYİİNDE ÇALIŞAN ORTA KADEME YÖNETİCİLERİN LİDERLİK BİLEŞENLERİNİ ALGILAMALARI: ANALİTİK HİYERARŞİ SÜRECİ AHS İLE BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Günümüzde, liderlik literatüründe “Her durumda geçerli en iyi liderlik tarzı diye bir şey yoktur” görüşündeki durumsallık yaklaşımı kabul edilmektedir. Bu yaklaşıma göre; liderlik sürecinin tam olarak anlaşılması ve etkili liderlik biçiminin ortaya çıkarılabilmesi için, liderlerin davranışları ile özelliklerini tanımlamak ve bunları örgütün yapısı, ortamı gibi durumun önemli boyutları ile ilişkilendirmek gereklidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, savunma sanayi sektöründe çalışan orta kademe yöneticilerin ve proje ekibinin, liderin kendisi, izleyicileri, görev yapısı, örgütsel yapı ve kültür gibi liderlik bileşenlerinin önceliklendirilmesi hakkında algılamalarının belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada, örneklemden alınan veriler ışığında, “Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci” ile bu alandaki benzerlikler ve farklılıklar karşılaştırmalı olarak belirlenecek ve yorumlanacaktır.
